An Investigation into a Grid-Linked Solar-Wind Hybrid Electricity-Internet of Things System

The design and development of a hybrid power generating system for rural electrification, as well as the simplicity of monitoring all power generation from individual units and load monitoring utilising IoT, are the main topics of this article. In order to lessen reliance on the grid, the entire hardware system is powered by employing solar PV and wind systems. This project has a number of features, including dualaxis solar panel rotation, Wi-Fi-based remote control monitoring, temperature, humidity, and inverter sensing. Utilizing generated power for rural electrification at any remote locations is the main benefit of HRES. The technology is straightforward: a wind turbine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, producing output voltage, which is then converted from AC to DC by an AC to DC converter or rectifier. This hybrid power generation system can be used as a grid-connected unit or rooftop self-power generation unit Solar panels and a wind turbine are used in the project. Where solar PV cells are used to harvest solar energy, heat radiation energises the solar cells, causing a chemical reaction that result in the generation of a unit of charge. The usage of an inverter is a cutting-edge technology that converts a DC supply to an AC source. Electrical appliances receive this AC’s supply. Depending on the load and demand requirements, many configurations can be used to obtain the O/p.
